Kahoot alternative for friends, not the classroom
Kahoot is brilliant for classrooms and work sessions. At a party it asks a lot: someone writes the quiz, a big screen shows the questions, and speed decides who wins. If you want a Kahoot alternative made for friends, Know It works differently.

When Kahoot is the better choice
For teaching, training, or a quiz about your own topic (a wedding couple, a company, a school subject), Kahoot is the right tool: you control every question, and it handles very large groups.
When a Kahoot alternative like Know It fits better
- Nobody wants to prepare a quiz. Open the site and play.
- No TV or projector. A bar table, a balcony, a train.
- Slow thinkers welcome. Nobody wins by tapping first; you win by knowing, or by reading who knows.
- 2–10 friends rather than a whole class.
